Good post! Dont know what its worth, but I used to believe the orbs were human controlled or military in nature, but I'm not so sure anymore. The orbs have all but left the ranch and moved north and spanned east and west in both directions and over the ridge ways and washes.

I wonder why? I had another expierence last weekend this time was in the vermillion basin area. This time there was two of them which was a first . They seemed to be searching the ground for something. I was in a state of fear that i have not expierenced in my entire life. I literally couldnt function, I knew the camera was in my hands, i knew that i wanted to take a picture, but i couldnt even lift my arms. I was up there with a the same friend who i was with in dino, and he seems to communicate with these things without knowing it, he always gets real calm and will whisper instead of talking(like in a trance) immeadetly before we have a sighting. I dont know what to think of all this. I always try to see things from many perspectives, i think they are extremely intelligent, but i cant see any way for them to be human controlled or military. That is just my opinion though.

sounds exactly like one of my own encounters. I had the video camera in my hand and no matter how hard i tried i was so overwhelmed with fear that i could not start taping, instead i started running in an complete state of panic. I also go into a trance like medative state prior to seeing these, and oddly feel i can communicate with them prior to their arrival (but not during the encounter).

i got a question for skinwalker or hero, did/do u ever see them blinking lights fly around? they blink red/blueish and they just circle around here in the basin? what are they? they are completely silent and sometimes there will be 2-4 of them, and they sometimes fly side by side. they seem to be looking for something? thats what it seems to me anyways.

yes we both saw them flying around, yes we saw between 2-4 (one time we saw maybe 9 of them). Yes they seem to be searching for something. The ones i saw seem to be flying in formation. I agree with Hero I think they are looking for biologcal animals...humans..whatever.

2010-07-27 1981-06-27 Two animate UFOs were seen by a group of 15 individuals, who were camped in Cow Canyon , on Lake Powell .

I was a Park Ranger assigned in law enforcement at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area ( Lake Powell ). On the night of 6/29/1981 a gentleman called the Wahweap District Ranger Office and requested a Ranger meet him at the Wahweap launch ramp. A Ranger responded and took this formal Department of Interior, National Park Service, Case Incident Report. The incident was given Case Incident Number 811310.

The gentleman reported, that two nights earlier, his group of 15 individuals from Salt Lake City , Utah were camping in Cow Canyon , in the Escalante River Arm, of Lake Powell . The group were all members of the LDS Church and there was absolutely no use of alcohol, or drugs on the trip. The group had a houseboat, that was used as a base, for the trip.

NOTE: The following account is taken directly and verbatim from the National Park Service Case Incident Report Number 811310. I have used quotation marks for all information taken verbatim from the Case Incident Report. Where I have used the word "NAME" I have left out the name of the person who gave the account of the incident, to the National Park Service. I have corrected some obvious spelling errors that were in the original account and I have put in brackets ( ) information that can clarify the report, to persons reading it.

"On 06-29-81, at approximately 1715 Hrs.(5:15 p.m.), recieved a call from a visitor wanting to report a strange experience in the Escalante River . I contacted NAME at approx. 1745 Hrs.(5:45 p.m.), on the launch ramp (Wahweap launch ramp). On 06-27-81, at approximately 2230 Hrs. (10:30 p.m.), NAME and 14 other persons in his group were camped in Cow Canyon , a side canyon off the Escalante ( Escalante River arm of Lake Powell ). "Name" was about to tell the group a story of an incident his family experienced five years earlier in Explorer Canyon, which is the next canyon south of Cow Canyon, when the same experience began to happen again. A bright light, which was described to be flashing at 2-4 second intervals, was coming down the left side of the canyon in midair. It circled above the group and then flew down the right side of the canyon. The light was described to be similar to a strobe light and bright enough to light up the canyon wall. The group observed the light flying in close proximity to their campsite for approximately one and a half (1 1/2) hours. At one point it (the object) was thirty (30) feet away when group member shined a spot light on it and described what he saw as "creature-like." Further details include: "winged and larger than a bat." NAME then stated that another light appeared and seemed to flash a signal which was answered by the original light. Both lights then disappeared down the middle of the canyon. NAME stated that this experience was very similar to the one five (5) years ago in Explorer Canyon , only the light was brighter. No alcohol was consumed by any member of the group that night. Cleared 1800 Hrs. (6:00 p.m.)."

To me this is an amazing report. The individual making the report did not want his name used and wanted no publicity for himself. The length of time (i.e. 1 1/2 hrs.) that the object was observed, is in itself remarkable and I have not heard of any other report of this duration.

During the summer of 1981 the National Park Service received a number of reports, from visitors, camped on the shoreline of Lake Powell , of "giant fireflys." Several of the reports were recieved at the Carl Hayden Visitor Center ,located near Glen Canyon Dam. At first the National Park Service, staff members, thought the campers were seeing the strobe lights on the stacks of the Navajo Generating Station, southeast of Page, Arizona. These lights can be seen for miles but some of the campers were in canyon locations, where the power plant stacks could not be seen. It is possible that the sightings of "giant fireflys" were what the group of 15 saw on the night of 6/27/1981.

There was a second verbal report given to the Bullfrog District Ranger about a similar sighting to the 6/27/1981 one. The second report was not documented unfortunately but occured two, weeks after the 6/27/1981 report. The individuals who made the second report, were supposed to be on Lake Powell for a week, on a houseboat. The first night out of Bullfrog, Utah , where they rented the houseboat, they camped in Cow Canyon , the same canyon as the 6/27/1981 sighting. The second sighting was very similar to the first sighting. The second group were so disturbed by what they saw, that they returned to Bullfrog Marina, the following morning and turned in their houseboat and said "we are getting the hell out of here," after describing what had happened to them.

I have a kept a copy of the original Case Incident Report over the years because of the unusual nature of the UFOs observed. I did submit a copy of this case incident to the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization in Tucson and they thought it was a most interesting sighting.

I just read UFO Disclosure Countdown Clock and and in the article it mentioned this site or you yourself that expressed some interest in the San Antonio "cute Orb" so I came here to see myself.. I just wanted to say that it is REAL.. and in addition to seeing and filming it myself- my husband also saw it with naked eyes as it was downstairs approx 60 ft away from us..Also while i am at it to tell u that I film Orbs here where i live and that I have had orb in bedroom that was very similar to the one in the vid that "just appeared" in front of my tv- a tv that just placed in my room to start viewing 4+ months of footage for first time that I had been filming at night after my first "sighting" almost 2 yrs ago. Also that I have had Orbs, one in particular about dime-nickel size that popped into view daytime less than foot or two away from me-- it was so cute I smiled at it and it popped back out of view.In addition I know that the Orbs come onto my porch while filming at night- flashes of light-streak of light for split second.. since reading UDCC site i have tried "calling" Orbs as well as praying for them..(praying part because thats what I do)AND- I film Orbs of all colors-shapes and sizes.. I don't begin to say i understand why except perhaps because i film sooo much practially everyday- so are orbs everwhere? I happen to believe so.. but WHY?? or Where are they from?? WHAT do they want? I am not afraid of them- but have been very frightened for a long while after 1st sighting...??After my "first sighting" I, for a long while, felt a "connection" (crazy as THAT sounds)and "communicated" or felt as if I could with "Them"..lol

I'm running on-- just really wanted to say that the video is real- believe it or not.. and I have some pics from way back when first started filming of "object- Orb" coming in thr bars at night on porch- I didn't see it only on film- but it must have been really fast as it has a corkscrew trail at back end of "it".Thank you,openureyes10

Can you please provide more context and background on your experiences and videos?For example,

1) Do you live in rural or urban setting?

2) Do you live in/or near an area that has historical or spiritual attributes (like old cemetery, native American burial ground, native American holy place, etc.)?

3) Are these orbs you see and film, seen any time and any day (randomly) or periodically on specific days/times? Do you see them at night or only daytime?

4) Are you the only person who see these orbs or do you have other eyewitnesses who also see them when you film them?

5) How close have you gotten to them?

6) What makes you feel that they are sentient?

7) How big of an area do they appear? Only around your house or around the whole neighborhood or around the whole town?

Thanks much, Tony

Tony,

I am happy to give you more information on my experiences, as strange as they are. In response to your questions:

1. I live on the NW side of San Antonio, TX in a third floor apartment. My balcony faces a large green area with an unobstructed view to the north and northwest horizon. 2. I am not aware of any historical or spiritual attributes associated with the area. However, approximately 7 miles north is Camp Bullis, which is an Air Force training center. 3. My sightings have occurred both day and night and not just restricted to my apartment complex. 4. The sightings usually occur when I am alone; however, there are three instances with witnesses.5. The closest sighting was a nickel sized white orb that appeared just outside my balcony railing, less than 2 feet away.6. This is an interesting question. There have been times that I have mentally called out to them, asking them to appear, and before the Ďcute orbí video was filmed I had been mentally asking for them to slow down so I could have clear footage. Does this mean they are aware and responded? Or is it just coincidence? I donít know. The Thanksgiving 2010 sighting, I had been mentally projecting for a craft to appear so that my daughter could witness. Several hours later we both saw a craft that hovered silently over a home adjacent to this property. 7. I have sighted unexplained objects within the green area below my balcony; within the horizon I have seen or filmed crafts, orbs, objects, rods, and strange lights; and away from the immediate area, which is several miles away.

Iíd now to share some experiences.

The first sighting was three amber spheres with six or seven small white orbs dancing around them. This was seen during the daytime. Several days later, while at Walmart, I saw a small dull, dark, rectangular box above the parking lot lights at approximately 8:30 pm. A day or two later there was a small metallic object hovering and rotating above the treetops in the green area during the afternoon. These first three sightings occurred during a time span of 7-10 days.

Shortly after, I witnessed through binoculars a brilliant white light on the NW horizon that within a few moments transformed into an airplane. It flew a short distance then stopped ejected a small object and vanished. It didnít fly away, it simply disappeared.

I observed a large grey, military like, airplane that just hung in the sky with its nose down in the approximate location of the first sighting of spheres.

These are but a few of the many, many sightings I have witnessed over the past two years. I have thousands of hours of video, which I had never listened to, but I recently discovered I had recorded audio of a womanís voice speaking. Another audio was hissing and then a third was a growl. I stopped listening. I hope this answers some of your questions but undoubtedly, it creates more.

Thank you very much, Openyoureyes10, for your thorough and prompt reply.

You are certainly a fascinating person with some extraordinary experiences.

You bring up a key question that I always had: is phenomena associated with a specific geographic location or with a person.

In the past I arrived at the following conclusion: It is not where you are but who you are with, that determines if you have a sighting.

While in this forum we are very focused on the Skinwalker Ranch location - where phenomena is repeatedly seen.I am still not convinced that it is not tied to people.For example, the phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch really increased when Terry Sherman moved it. Did he had more to do with it than the location?Likewise, Ryan Burns and Ryan Skinner had had numerous anomalous experiences (before getting involved with the Skinwalker Ranch area), but is it them that attracts it or allows them to see it or is it the location.

I don't know for sure, but this is my working hypothesis. Some people are just more aware or in tuned or open to seeing these odd phenomena.

Hopefully, the MUFON video experts or other scientific folks are examining your videos for acquiring knowledge or at least try to come up with a Hypothesis on what these orbs are and what they are not.
